Twists[edit]

New twist - phones[edit]

For the first time in the seventeen-year history of Bigg Boss, housemates are allowed to use phones during this season. Bigg Boss provided each housemate with a phone where they can receive messages from Bigg Boss and communicate with other housemates when permitted. However, only the "Janta Ka Agent" has access to feedback from the outside world.[22]

Janta Ka Agent[edit]

On the premiere day, host Anil Kapoor told contestant Sana Sultaan Khan that she would be the "Janta Ka Agent" and receive information about the outside world until being fired to have the power and be replaced.[23] The "Janta Ka Agent” would possess a special power and be immune from evictions, even if they were nominated. [citation needed]

Nominations Photo Lab

On Day 3, each housemate was required to nominate two other housemates for eviction by tearing their respective black and white photos in the Photo Lab, which was set up in the Activity Area.

After the housemates cast their votes, the nominated housemates were Deepak, Ranvir, Sai Ketan, and Sana S. However, Bigg Boss introduced a twist by only accepting the nominees chosen by the "Janta Ka Agent"—Neeraj and Shivani—ultimately placing them in the final nomination list.
Neeraj and Shivani were nominated for first-week's mid-week eviction.
Tasks Aaj Ka Mudda with Deepak Chaurasia

On Day 2, a debate took place among six housemates. The topic of discussion was centered around the contributions and participation of Armaan, Lovekesh, and Neeraj in the show. Ranvir, Sai Ketan, and Sana S were assigned the role of questioning the involvement of these three housemates in the house's matters, essentially acting as the "prosecuting" side in this debate format.
The defendants, Armaan, Lovekesh, and Neeraj, answered questions and countered the arguments brought forth by the "prosecuting" side. The remaining housemates formed the audience and were permitted to question each speaker as well. Deepak moderated the debate.

Winners - Armaan, Lovekesh and Neeraj
Failed - Ranvir, Sai Ketan and Sana S
Ration Task - Rankings

On Day 4, Bigg Boss assigned a task to the housemates to earn ration for the house by determining rankings from 1 to 16 based on each contestant's contribution to the show. However, as the housemates were unable to provide logical reasons for each ranking and appeared to be in a hurry, Bigg Boss decided to cancel the task midway. Additionally, Bigg Boss pointed out that the rankings suggested by the housemates did not align with the rankings determined by the live audience.

  • On Days 1 and 2, the housemates consumed all the ration provided by Bigg Boss that was intended to last for a week. In response to this miscalculation, Bigg Boss provided additional fruits on Day 3 to ensure sufficient supplies for the remainder of the week.
  • On Day 4, as a result of the housemates' unsuccessful attempt at the rankings task, Bigg Boss provided an additional supply of ration to the contestants, ensuring they had adequate resources for the following seven days.
